This is not limited to Windows running WSL. I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 and I'm getting the same error. Deno does not install itself globally, only to the current user's folder. Running as sudo does not work as deno is not a known command. 

import { serveTLS } from 'https://deno.land/[email protected]/http/server.ts';

const hostname: string = '127.0.0.1';
const port: number = 8000;
const certFile: string = '../../../.ssh/localhost.crt';
const keyFile: string = '../../../.ssh/localhost.key';

const s = serveTLS({ hostname, port, certFile, keyFile });
console.log(`Server running at https://${hostname}:${port}`);

for await (const req of s) {
    req.respond({ body: 'Hello World \n' });
}

deno run --allow-net --allow-read ./index.ts

@chenjianxin Can you provide the output of the following command?

deno -Ldebug https://deno.land/std/examples/welcome.ts
kt3k picture kt3k on 1 Nov 2019

The path changed to https://deno.land/std/examples/welcome.ts ... but it would be better if the error message was
"404 Not Found https://deno.land/welcome.ts"

Except that actually it's not 404 even

Maybe it's the cache directory? What happens if you download to welcome.js and run it as a local JS module?

If I set the permission of deno_dir 700 (owned by root user), then I see the same error.

$ sudo mkdir tmp_deno_dir
$ sudo chmod 700 tmp_deno_dir
$ DENO_DIR=./tmp_deno_dir deno https://deno.land/std/examples/welcome.ts
Permission denied (os error 13)

(Setting the permission to 755 causes a little different error.)

@chenjianxin Can you try to change the permission of deno_dir? (You can find the path of deno_dir by the command deno info)

kt3k picture kt3k on 2 Nov 2019

I think we can panic at wrong permission of deno_dir, but in that case we should show more meaningful error message.

kt3k picture kt3k on 2 Nov 2019

@kt3k I agree

Same error running this basic code:

import { serveTLS } from "https://deno.land/std/http/server.ts";

const tlsOptions = {
  hostname: "localhost",
  port: 443,
  certFile: "./src/certs/server.pem", // TODO: ENV VAR
  keyFile: "./src/keys/server.pem" // TODO: ENV VAR
};

async function httpsServer() {
  console.log(`Simple HTTPS server listening on ${tlsOptions.hostname}:${tlsOptions.port}`);

  const body = new TextEncoder().encode("Hello HTTPS");
  for await (const req of serveTLS(tlsOptions)) {
      req.respond({ body });
    }
}

httpsServer();

deno --allow-net --allow-read src/index.ts returns this error:

I'm going to close this issue because the original one is quite old - I don't think it is relevant anymore.

@jlcarruda Please try again on v1.0.2 (which will be released momentarily) and start a new issue if the problem persists.
